Penny & Irv - May 2010

Hello Everyone,

Penny's surgery went well. Irv and I (sister Kerrin) are taking really good care of her. The surgeon said the type of cancer may not need any chemotherapy but will need to see the results of the testing on the tumor. They presented Pennys case to the Tumor Board, and Penny's oncologist is the head of this board, and their consensus was also that chemotherapy may not be needed. So we will see.

Penny has eaten and the pain pills are working, so we are happy about that.

We are already home, something that I as an RN knew happened, but as a sister, it pisses me off!! Not everybody has a nurse after major surgery!!

Thanks again for all of the support, and more news will come when it is available.
Love, Penny (and Kerrin who is writing this to help the old girl out......lol)
